PITTsBURG, April 13.-The war between
the stove molders and the manufacturers
has reached Pittsburg and from present
indications there will be a great strike

facturers.
Today the manufacturers in this city,
members of the Defense Association, re-
ceived confidential circular from ID. NJ.

firm-Bridges, Beach & Co., viii be sent
to all Of the manufacturers in the country

notified by telegraph to have holdings
made from the same. The molders III

SEDALIA, Mo-, April l3.-The announce
ment that the cases against the alleged
Missouri Pacific train wreckers. Messrs.
Hamilton, Nevil, Collins, Spann, Page and
Mccullough, would be called in the crimi-
nal conrt this morning caused the court
room to be filled with spectators, among
the number being many railroad men.
Both the State and defense announced
themselves ready for tlial. A severance OF
the cases was asked for by the defense and
granted, and the State elected to try w. III.
Hamilton first. He was arraigned and
pleaded not guilty.
Peter Rockwell, general roadmas.er OF
the Missouri Pacific, was the first witness
called He testified to the good condition
of the company's roadbed on March %,
1856, the day On which the east bound
freight train was wrecked, and he was
perfectly satisfied that the wreck resulted
from the removal Of the fish plates which
held the rails in position.
On cross examination he testified that the
roadbed was inspected ON the morning Of
March %, at which time it was in first
class condition.
Superintendent J. j. Frey, of the Mis-
souri, Kansas & Texas Railroad, who was
riding on the engine when it was ditched,

the first person to discover that rail had
been misplaced, and he at once informed
those with him on the engine, when they
jumped to the ground. An instant later
the engine and several cars were piled up
in the ditch, and five persons injured.
Detective John De Long was the third
witness, but his testimony was not of a
startling nature
Elk Marshall Barnett, Engineers Bradley
and Vedder, ex Officers Marvin and Simon
Rosenthal were also examined, but the evil
dence of the latter only was damaging to
the defendant Rosenthal is Hebrew
peddler He testified that he was driving
his wagon along the roadway, opposite the
point where the train was wrecked, a short
time before the engine and cars were
ditched, and he saw two men standing on
the track whom he recognized as Hamil
ton, the defendant, and Collins, who is
also charged with the crime. Collins was
working at the rail, but witness paid no
particular attention to him, as he had no
idea of anything wrong.
With the witness at the time referred 10
was another gentleman, who will be put
on the stand tomorrow. There is a third
witness, it is claimed, who will testify that
he witnessed Hamilton and Collins while !,
they were tampering with the fish plates
